    Hey. Thanks for the update! As someone whose experience was heavily windows apart from some failed Linux attempts, your experience switching now is an excellent comparison.

    Glad the story got better in the second act.

    Keep the story going. Please update.

    Thanks for persevering also.

    This is just for /dev/sda or so, and implies non-redundant root disks because mirroring is done by the hypervisor. I’ve been 20 years doing virtualization, and I’m really starting to forget the last vestiges of my mdadm fdisk layout.

    So many people in this thread have no idea why you’d want separate allocation for /home and /tmp and others. Are we missing proper mentorship?

    I managed and maintained a known open-source project. GPL license.

    4 guys in SKorea submitted patches back as required, which their company claimed was corporate espionage – because they intended to violate the license?

    Someone from the FSF took their case, but was unsuccessful. 4 guys went to prison because of them adhering to my license. Prison!

    I’ve done BSD ever since. I can’t prevent companies from being right sociopaths, but I can keep well-meaning and honest people out of prison.
